The generation of more pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) as a result of the collapse of a lava dome on Mayon Volcano, as well as the occurrence of more frequent volcanic earthquakes, characterized the “increased” eruptive activity at the restive volcano on Friday, June 30, said State...
Four dome collapse pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) from the lava dome of Mayon Volcano were recorded by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Friday, June 30, indicating an increase in the activity of the restive volcano in Albay. In a bulletin issued at 8 p.m.,...
The “very slow” lava flow and sporadic lava dome collapse in Mayon Volcano have continued to result in rockfall occurrences and pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) in the past 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said in its bulletin on Friday, June 30....
Two phreatic bursts occurred in Taal Volcano between Thursday, June 29, and Friday, June 30, said the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). It defines a phreatic burst as a steam-driven explosion that occurs when water beneath the ground or on the surface is directly heated...
Taal Volcano had a phreatic or steam-driven burst around 12:54 p.m. on Thursday, June 29, said the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). Phivolcs said the phreatic burst, which lasted two minutes and 52 seconds, generated a 250-meter-high white plume before drifting...
Lava continues to cascade down the slopes of the erupting Mayon Volcano, based on the latest monitoring of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). Phivolcs said the “very slow” lava effusion from the crater of Mayon Volcano has persisted between Wednesday, June 28,...
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recorded 372 rockfall occurrences in Mayon Volcano between 5 a.m., Tuesday, June 27, and 5 a.m. Wednesday, June 28. The “very slow” effusion of lava from Mayon Volcano occasionally causes the lava front to collapse, resulting in...
